Hey, I'm Riya – a product designer with a knack for UI/UX excellence. My design journey kicked off during my bachelor's in product design in India, where I co-founded Pointless.design,

a design service startup, during my second year.


Over the past 4 years, I've improved my skills through various experiences, ranging from internships to product design roles in various companies.


Currently pursuing my masters in Usability Engineering in Germany, I'm on a path to elevate user experiences to new heights.

I love diving into mysteries, whether it's in a suspenseful novel or a thrilling TV show. Books and gripping narratives are my escape, but I also enjoy losing myself in movies.


When I'm not caught up in a story, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, creating some of my happiest moments.
